CUPPA RICE.. It's an Arabian dish with layers of flavours, starting with the bottomost layer of thin and well balanced curry. Lies upon it is the rice, which is just good enough to go with the curry and then goes the grilled whole chicken. Beautifully garnished with onion and cucumber. All you need is a fork and knife and just dig in. #food #foodie #foodblog #india #foodlover
